  ISP recommendations? Berkeley newcomer here. What internet service providers are available in Berkeley, and which do you recommend for high-speed internet? I don't need cable or phone service. Thanks!

  LMI.net uses Sonic’s lines, so you’d think they’d have to be more expensive. They’re not, they have even better customer service, and are locals.

  Bay Area. What internet service provider do you use. Pros? Cons? Reasonably priced?

  

  Isobel W. replied:

  I like http://LMI.net/ because they are totally local and really easy to work with....I think they're a bit more pricey but for me it's worth it to get a real live person on the phone who I know is working right around the corner from me.

  amadorUSA asked:

  Can you recommend a good ISP in Berkeley (or Oakland)? I'm moving to the East Bay from the Peninsula. I work from home half of the week and need a functioning internet connection that doesn't cost an arm and a leg like Comcast. I've been told that Berkeley has more options that Oakland because of some local companies. Can anyone confirm, or otherwise recommend good services in the area?

  [LMI.net](http://lmi.net), HQ in Berkeley, is awesome. IIRC, they resell Sonic's circuits (at least they used to), but having a local presence is key, and their customer service was awesome. Bonus, they have a solar array to offset their electrical use at their HQ. Please consider not using Comcast or AT&T, those net-neutrality villains / duopolists do not need your support, and the local little guys (who are for net-neutrality) sure do need your $.

  Richard K. asked:

  hello facebook friends. my att email account has been hacked again even though i have a super long password. ...... and they've raised the isp rates again... can anyone recommend an isp REASONABLY PRICED where you don't get your account hacked every other month? i'm listening and thanks for any ideas.

  

  Andy C. replied:

  Another vote for lmi.net. Buy local! And when your equipment is acting up, you can actually walk into their office with it, and they'll set it right.

  We all get hacked, Rich. The foxes are cleverer than any henhouse fence anyone can build. As I understand it, the problem probably isn't your isp, anyway. More likely your computer is hosting a virus that is sending out spam, using your email address list. Re, isp's: I've been using Lmi.net for years, and I'm very happy with it. They're local (right over on MLK, near Cedar), and the few times I've had any questions, I've got a local guy on the line who wants to help. We're paying them about $40 a month. Good luck.

  Laura D. asked:

  Hey East Bay Peeps, I'm thinking of changing Internet Providers. I'm with Megapath and they are great but kind of expensive and the wiring at my apt. slows down the service so I'm paying for more than I can get.. Anyone have a good low cost provider to recommend?

  Is Lanminds an option? http://www.lmi.net/
